She took to 'X' and wrote a long note appreciating the women who fought for their rights. She also stated that sexual harassment and the pressure to compromise for job progress occur in all fields. But why should women bear this alone, she lamented in her post.
"This moment of #MeToo prevailing in our industry breaks you. Kudos to the women who have stood their ground and emerged victorious. The #HemaCommittee was much needed to break the abuse. But will it? Abuse, asking for sexual favors, and expecting women to compromise to gain a foothold or accelerate their careers exist in every field.
Why is a woman alone expected to go through the grind? Although men too face it, it's marginally women who bear the brunt," she wrote on X.
Khushbu shared that she had a conversation with her daughter about this issue.
"Had a long conversation with my 24-year-old and 21-year-old daughters on this issue. Was amazed at their empathy and understanding towards the victims. They firmly support them and stand with them at this juncture." She added that the most important thing in this situation is to open up about what you are facing without any fears or hesitation.
